Difficulty setting up multiple monitors

Hi,

I’m having difficulty setting up several monitors. I’ve read the manual and looked at other forum user responses but the problem is I don’t have the same options in the Graphics menu as others. 

Under “Monitor Configuration” I only have one hard locked monitor showing, even though I have multiple monitors in use. I can’t click on the drop down menu or make any changes at all. I’m running 11.4, which states is the latest version with no more updates needed. 

I’m at a loss. Any help would be appreciated!

You didn't say what OS you are using, so this is for W10.

Thanks for the reply.

I am running Windows 10 and I have no problem setting up and using multiple monitors within Windows. I can drag things around to my monitors and utilize them. However, whenever I enter X-plane it only allows me to view my main screen. I can’t drag nav equipment to other screens, or even expand my side views.  And when I look at the forum responses, it says to just go to Monitor Configuration under Graphics and change the setting. However, I don’t have the ability to change any of those settings. It just says Monitor 1 and there’s no way to change that. No drop down box, no + to click on to expand or anything like that...

See if this is of any better.
I asume that you have a graphics card, not built in motherboard graphics .
